What Patients Say About Dr. Lee

“Without going into the "novel" of my spinal issues, Dr. Lee treats me as a person, a unique individual who happens to be his patient. He doesn't talk "at" me, he talks with me and all decisions are mutually agreed upon. At one point I had issues with the billing department and was denied services. When he found out, he was able to get it resolved, scheduled my appointment and took care of the problem. No doctor does that anymore. He goes above and beyond. There are not enough words of gratitude that I can express to thank Dr. Lee and his staff. They are amazing.” — Cassandra
